Build a clip deck slide by slide

A good review deck is a short argument: here's what we asked for, here's where we did it, here's where we didn't. The editor is built so that the argument is the only work left. The match's title slide and chapter headers are already in place, the coach's tagged moments are one click away, and everything saves as you go. For how a deck gets to the room, see Turn match footage into Club TV.

• Work on a computer. The full editor needs a window at least 1024 pixels wide; narrower than that you get a simpler phone layout.
• Clips come from the match the deck is linked to. A deck made from a synced match is already linked. A deck with no match can still hold text, images and your own video, but not match clips or match data.
• The coach can open and edit the same deck. There is one review deck per squad match, so you're never merging two versions. A Pre-match deck for the same match, which puts the starting XI on screen before kick-off, is a separate deck.

Slides run down the left, in presenting order. The middle shows the selected slide as the room will see it, and the panel on the right is where you change it. At the top are the undo and redo arrows (⌘Z and ⌘⇧Z), the Present button, and the save status: Saving…, then Saved. If your connection drops you'll see Save failed with a Retry button, and closing the editor warns you before any unsaved change is lost.

Drag a slide to move it. Its ⋯ menu has Add slide, Duplicate slide and Delete slide. Shift-click or ⌘-click to select several and delete them together.

A deck made from a match opens as a squad review: a title slide ("Match Review", with the opponent under it), then This Week's Focus and Standards to Elevate before the clips, and Positives to Reinforce and Coach's Clips after. Rename any of them to what the week is actually about (the Under 13s' deck against Sandpiper Bay SC uses Build-up patterns) by selecting the header and changing its Title and Subtitle. For another chapter, duplicate a header you already have.

Put each clip under the chapter that explains why it's there. A room reads "Standards to Elevate" and knows what to look for before the clip even starts.

When a deck is linked to a match and has no clips yet, the clip picker opens by itself the first time you open it. Any other time, choose Add slide, then Match Clip.

• Coaching is the coach's tagged moments, with the coach's comment. Start here: it's what the coach wants the room to see.
• Events is what Veo detected on its own (goals, shots and the like), and All is both. Use Search clips… to find one by name.
• The Squad and Fixture menus at the top reach any squad's matches, not just this one. That's how you put the Under 14s' press next to this week's, or show the first team doing the thing you're asking for.
• Clips already in the deck are marked On deck, so you can't add one twice.
• If the coach has tagged more since you opened the deck, Check for new fetches them without leaving the editor.

Each clip arrives with a caption written from the coach's comment or the event and its match time. Rewrite it as the one thing to watch: "Watch the 6's first touch: it's out of his feet before the press arrives." A short Label (something like "Pressing Trigger") shows as a tag at the start of the caption, so the room can tell the theme at a glance.

Five slide types draw on the match itself: Match clip, Match stats, Shot map, Leaderboard and Work rate. They read the match record each time they're shown, so if an event is corrected after you build the deck, the slide updates on its own. They need the deck to be linked to a match; until then they're greyed out with "Link to a match".

• Match Stats has three views, chosen in the right-hand panel under View: Key Stats, Passing and Possession. Show squad season average puts this match next to the squad's season, which is usually the comparison that matters.
• Heatmap can no longer be added. One already in a deck still shows the first and second half separately, moving from one half to the other before the next slide.
• Shot Map shows Both sides by default. Leave it that way for most reviews: a squad usually learns more from the shots it conceded than from the ones it took.
• Leaderboard ranks players on one measure (distance covered, top speed, sprints and more), showing the top 3, 5, 8 or 10. In the room it shows names. On a shared link the slide shows a notice instead of the rankings, and families only ever see their own child's figures. Use it when the ranking itself is the point.
• Work Rate is the team's totals with no one named, so it's the safe choice when the message is about the group's effort.

Each of these has a caption line too. Use it to say what the slide proves.

Lineup puts a starting XI on the squad's half of the pitch, keeper nearest the room: this match's kick-off XI, the Last meeting with this opponent when there was one, or any of the squad's other matches through Pick a match. It needs a linked match too. It has the same Plan, 3D and Player POV views as a Play slide. A pre-match deck's Starting XI and adding a phase of play after it are covered in the coach's guide.

Phase of play and Set piece put the squad's players on a pitch: a phase such as High press with the match's eleven in their slots and the opposition opposite, a play already on this match, or one from the club's library. Use one before the clip, so the room knows who should be where at the corner before it watches what happened. Picking players, the Plan, 3D and Player POV views and the steps a play moves through are covered in the coach's guide.

• Text is a title and body, for the one message you want on the wall between clips.
• Image takes a JPEG, PNG, WebP or GIF up to 10MB: a set-piece diagram, a photo of the whiteboard, an opposition line-up.
• Other Video takes an MP4, WebM or MOV up to 80MB, for footage from outside the match. Add an optional poster image (up to 10MB) so the slide doesn't open on a black frame.

On a phone the editor shows one slide at a time with Add, Edit, Present and More along the bottom. More has undo and redo, reordering, duplicating and deleting. It's fine for a caption fix on the train; build the deck, and run the room, from a computer.

• Every clip has a caption a player would understand without you in the room.
• The deck reads as chapters with your own titles, not one long run of clips.
• The data slides say something the clips don't, and the leaderboard is only there if the ranking matters.
